I've finally got it covered!

It took a while, a year to be exact but I had booked a track day last week so had to get it finished because of uncertain weather. I redesigned the soft top bracket to have it bolted to the roll bar with two M6 bolts. This way it won't revolve. 

The back of the bracket will bend to follow the curvature of the roll bar. Now it seems to work I'll make up a couple of nice polished ones.

When the top is not on the two supports fold back and rest on the rear panel. To allow this there's a 15mm spacer between the support and bracket to lift the support away from the bracket as well as the roll bar. It's made out of 10mm chromed water pipe. 

This is the correct position. I put wire between the two supports until I got them the right distance apart. The intended ribbon to the left will replace the wire for a much neater solution.

Once the soft top is "popped" on to the windscreen it's then dragged back over the supports. It's a really tight fit. I put the first rivet in the middle 25mm from the top edge of the rear panel and the others at approx. 150mm intervals around the rear edge also 25mm from the top. 

I ran out of press fasteners hence the long gap along the sides.Important to keep it really tight all the way around.

At last it's in place. No time to test it before tomorrows track racing!

It's not quite as good looking from the front as it is without the top but it's practical! Evaluation? It's really brilliant; now I can drive any day, any weather. The heat produced by the heater actually stays in the car! It's really extended the season. I may be limited when it comes to snow and sub zero temperatures though!  

Looks great from the side. I've even had dogs looking as I drive past!

The doors fit nicely between seams in the roof making a nice seal.

It's quite quick to take off too, just a couple of minutes.
